Can you please manually specify a non-generic name for the downloaded source file?

Generic name like v1.3.0.tar.gz is likely to conflict with other packages that also wrongly use generic names, if one has set $SRCDEST, since then everything is downloaded into a single directory.

Try things like source=("${pkgname}.${pkgver}.tar.gz::https://github.com/hickford/MechanicalSoup/archive/v${pkgver}.tar.gz") to achieve this.

This issue was already commented on at 2021-06-17, and has not been dealt with until today although package upgrade happened in between.

Regards!

Please modernize the build procedure to follow PEP 517 standard, otherwise Python complains during setup that the direct execution of setup.py will be blocked in an upcoming release.

Please rename the source file so that it is unique. See the warning at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#source for details.

This now throws 

ImportError: libffi.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

while building as it requires an older version of libffi. Installing libffi6 solved the issue.

You should fix the PKGBUILD not to have to pull in all the python2 stuff when you want to build the python3, and viceversa.

mopidy says there is no dependency "lxml" for Mechanical soup.

edit: installing 'extra/python2-lxml' fixes the problem. Please add a dependency.

sudo pip2 install --upgrade Mechanicalsoup Works for the time being

Is there a -git version available? I have something that needs 0.4.0
